We often throw away the stems of broccoli taking only the florets.But the stems are not only flavorful but also a great source of vitamins and minerals too.So next time don’t throw it away.:D

Wash the Dried fish well with hot water. Then Cut them into pieces and dry roast in a pan along with dried red chili. Cut the stems of the broccoli , you may add few florets too. Fry them in a pan with little oil, add onion , cloves of garlic, green chilies. Now blend them all together and mix with salt and mustard oil ( shorishar tel).
Ready!!!!!!!

Cut the skin of the pumpkin into small pieces. Fry them in oil until gets little soft. Add dry chili, green chili,garlic cloves, onion and srimp at this point. Fry for a while. Blend them all together and mix with salt and mustard oil ( Shorishar tel).

Alu Bhorta (mashed potato in Beglai style):
Alu bhorta is the most popular bhorta among the Bengali, being it the “comfort food” for them!!!!!! It can be done in so many ways. Here I made it the most common way.

Boil the potato until tender. Peel the skin and mash it smooth . Squeeze the chopped onion, roasted dry chilis, green chilies, chopped cilantro with mustard oil and salt. Add them with the mashed potato and incorporate throughout potato mixture. Serve with steamed rice.

Mustard cannot be blended with water. Since now a dayz we don’t use the traditinal “Pata-Puta”/ “Shilnora”, blender is our only hope!!!!!!!!!! So in that case I just grind them into a powder first then blend it with garlic clove, onion, dry roasted dry chili, green chili. Mix it with salt and mustard oil.
